Well.. Just F*** it I've deiced to come back but I'll say one thing peeps don't count me mots for anime series, this is what you all get when you hang around 27 year old guy with mental health issues lawl.. Ahem that aside I'm going to be writing a story soon based on resident evil "the dark side chronicles" phone calls from Annette to sherry, watch below if you want to know what I'm talking about.

27 years old with mental health issues... so basically, what I thought of myself nine years ago then. I'm not saying I'm crazy, but I'm betting I've got enough stuff going on up there to help any psychology student develop their senior thesis.

Dr. Who question: What's the format of the show? Is it a continuing linear story with a plot or an episodic show of the Doctor doing stuff? And are the generations related to each other or each one is a standalone/reboot/remake?

As a long time Whovian, it's a little of both. Mostly episodic, but there are some linear things that string the show together. If there's a group of companions that are the same, and you're not watching one join up or leave, you can almost watch them in any order. It almost adds a Haruhi Suzumiya feel to the show sometimes if you can't always watch the show in it's aired order.

The generations are usually considered more of a stand-alone, but there's usually a little bit of continuity between the Doctors that goes beyond the companions at the time of regeneration. He's still the same man at the core, a renegade Time Lord with something of an affinity for Earth, but whenever he "dies" his personality and appearance shift around to where he's never quite the same. He's not the one you want to see when you are trying to make everything go smoothly, but you definitely want him on your side when Sontarans, Daleks, Cybermen, Autons, or any of the numerous other baddies show up, alone or in coalitions.

It also helps to pay attention to the order of the Doctors should you happen to come across any of the crossover specials. Either the full episodes, or the shorts produced to raise money for various causes over in the UK.

Also, with the 9th and 11th Doctors, those are easy access entry points to fans who just want to jump in and get started, both are basic restarts with all new Doctors and executive producers.

You might compare it to, say, Kamen Rider or Power Rangers. Sure there's backstory (tons of it, in fact), and if you've watched all the stuff leading up to the current stuff you'll get certain references, but it's not impossible to just tune in as a new fan and enjoy the show as is. In fact, there's a Doctor Who episode School Reunion. Fans of the old show got glimpse of what used to be, almost like The Doctor or Sarah Jane's perspective in the episode, but new fans were wondering what was going on, and thus almost like Rose's perspective in the episode.

I know others have chimed in to respond to your questions, so I'm not oblivious to them, just chiming in my own two cents.

... okay, nothing else to reply to, here's two Yuki mots. I guess we're still doing the Conversion Hits thing, but my last one apparently didn't count, the one that got misread by a certain someone, so here's two more, hope they count.
